Description
Our Intensive General Spanish Course in Valencia is the fastest way to learn the language. With two sessions of 1 hour and 40 minutes each, you will enjoy dynamic classes in a friendly and supportive environment, where empathy and understanding toward students are our priority.
In the intensive course, you will learn Spanish through our method, which follows a communicative and task-based approach. You’ll develop your Spanish skills to communicate in real-life situations: at a bar, on the street, in a shop, at the doctor’s office, in a job interview, etc. That’s why some of our classes take place outside the classroom, to put what you’ve learned into practice.
